"Vocal Works Gospel Choir sang at our wedding reception in June 2022. The song list we were given to choose from was perfect and the performances were amazing!! Tim and the team were brilliant throughout and really accommodating - even battling strong winds to sing from a balcony as we had asked for! We couldn’t be more grateful and we have already recommended them to others. Special thanks to Tim and Bindy who recorded a rendition of our favourite song which was used for both our engagement and first dance. It is a really special version of the song that will always mean a lot to us ❤️"

"Martin is absolutely superb, highly recommend him. He did three sets at our party and got the party atmosphere going straight away, there was dancing, singalongs and lots of applause. Martin made our party, so impressed, very professional and really friendly, so much he was invited to stay and join the party, which he did. Thank you Martin for making our party extra special. Cheers Andy & Anita "

"We booked the Swing Zippers to provide some music during the reception and meal for our ball and they were superb! They're really helpful and friendly and are excellent musicians who setup with little fuss but let the wonderfully varied music speak for itself. The feedback from those attending was excellent and this includes several professional musicians. Although ours was quite a large venue they would suit an space large or small and have a very quick and easy setup. We highly recommend them!"

"The band was excellent at my wedding party. They kept the dance floor full from start to finish and picked the most perfect set. Will definitely be my first choice for any future events."

"Our family just wanted to thank you and the band who played at Lindsay's wedding on Saturday night.Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and the ceilidh was a perfect way of mixing the London youngsters with scots and Irish families.Your wife was very helpful in keeping things under control, especially at the end when the Barbican were initially reluctant to allow the power back on when the noise limiter was triggered.My cousin has already booked you for a birthday bash next June in the Wheatsheaf, so we look forward to get into training for another reeling occasion!"

"I absolutely loved this pair. I recently planned a wedding in Duns, Scotland and Sally & Graham drove over an hour to play about 3 hours at my event. Everything went completely perfectly, from our communication beforehand, the song list, them adding songs I requested, the location and sound quality for their sets, and setup/tear down. I wanted a relaxed, acoustic sound with talented musicians definitely not a DJ party wedding band, so this duo was perfect for that. This website and this band are excellent value for the range and, again, quality of the music, 100% worth the price and more. Before the event, I gave them some some requests including Africa by Toto, which they REWROTE and learned in their own style (HUGE HIT and really surprised my husband). Also we coordinated a place for them to setup, the times of the sets, and what meals they wanted to have, and everything went off without a hitch. They were also so very sweet and wonderful people that they really impressed all my guests who were complimentary and wondering where I found such an amazing band. One of the best things about the Scotswood Acoustic Duo is how their song list covers a huge variety of music that they somehow play all equally wonderfully. So everyone's music tastes were satisfied and it made for very interesting listening, this was one of the compliments I heard alot. There are just so many nice things to say, please book this band and get them doing music full time because they are AMAZING!"

"A massive thank you to Talisha and Chris for the outstanding performances on Saturday night. I have lost count of the number of messages complementing your vocal quality and harmonies. Thank you for making our party so special. You two are superstars."

"After having had an awful 2022 Matt and I decided to throw a party, we had about 45 people in mind to invite but we wanted a band. I’m always put off by huge ones that you can never really hear the voices and your head and ears ache from the constant boom boom. Finding Alfie on a google search was exciting, they sounded exactly what we were looking for, for our intimate gathering. No problem at all to deal with prior to booking, which was simple and clear, we didn’t know at that time we were in for a treat, wow, the evening was absolutely superb. Alfie and Owens sound is brilliant, you can clearly hear the songs and the music, great vocals, no ear ache, just super super sounds coming from them. The choice of music suited our evening, and the requested songs to play were no problem. They integrated with our guests, some ‘hot’ to handle, and everyone had a fantastic evening, a massive thanks to you guys, it felt like we had friends with us, not a hired in band - and yes, we will see you again! (If you’ll come back that is!)"

"The videos of these guys really don't do them justice. If we could capture the magic and memories they created on our wedding day for all to see they would be booked everyday for the next ten years. We booked them for our wedding breakfast and evening entertainment and could not have asked for a better band. Absolutely perfect. If you are looking for entertainment that will keep your guests talking then don't hesitate to book these guys. They go out of their way for even the strangest requests and get everyone involved in such a fun and relaxing way. I never thought I'd see my Great Grandma rocking a cow bell. Don't look around for a better band because you won't find one, we are just looking for another excuse to book a party so we can have them back (Mr & Mrs Murphy - Kevin & Hannah) "

""We would definitely recommend them! They worked around our party needs and ensured everything was taken care of. The music these ladies played was exquisite and authentic! They created an excellent party environment for our small theme party." "

"We booked Jazz Eclipse for our very special 20th Wedding Anniversary at home in our garden. Well what can I say from the first point of contact through to the day itself they were so professional. We requested our wedding song which they learnt and performed to perfection. The guitarist is a very talented musician and made the guitar sing and Conor's superb vocals combined for an evening of pure enjoyment. We wholeheartedly recommend Jazz Eclipse! "

" A BIG thankyou to H&R acoustics for your fantastic performance at our wedding last month. You have a unique style and were a real hit with everyone - friendly, professional, punctual and above all played absolutely great music with beautiful singing (in both Spanish and English to match our mix of guests)! The addition of the conga player to the group worked really well and we appreciated your learning and including ‘The King of the Swingers’ from Jungle Book in your repertoire for us on the night."

"These two were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Ryan and Jenny had been in contact with us for months making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it! Their voices are absolutely incredible and they made everyone at our wedding get up off their feet. They sounded so good that it took our guests a few minutes to realise it was live music! Thank you both so much for being so perfect for us and we will 100% be recommending you to all our friends and family xx “ "
